  1. Happy Birthday Bro! 🥳⚘️

  2. A terrible implementation of an idea that isn't bad at face value. Instead of starting everyone off as unlimited and restricting the amount of reports serial spammers can make to 10 if they submit, say, 3 nuisance clips, everyone is effectively being punished because of some wannabe backseat admins clogging up the report system. The website reporting has been suggested as a crutch for far too long so it was bound to become a problem while in-game reports are routinely ignored as they are. In 24 hours of driving I reported 8 drivers in game whose reports were ignored in game so I submitted on the site. Of those: 6 are now banned, 1 was declined (with the reason "upload a shorter evidence" even though the video link was timestamped and was the same video that led to 6 other bans) 1 is still pending, despite being submitted before all the other reports that were accepted. If these reports had been dealt with in-game then the website system would be much less clogged. Not only that but the punishments are very soft and really aren't deterring people from repeat offending, because they know unless someone records them and submits a site report odds are they'll get away with it.
  3. Any chance of adding more groups? Or allowing new people to join in place of the dropouts?
  4. It's calculating the income drivers have earned since your last fast-travel, and the server's time and date is a few 1000's of days ahead of your local save game. It's going to take AGES to load, but it will only happen once, then it will be fine every other time you take a ferry. Just wait it out.
  5. My G920 has gone the same was as my shifter and stopped working properly. RIP.

      How old is your G920? If it still has warranty valid, you should RMA if possible.

      and thats why you get a g27 mines lasted 2 years and still going strong even though the numbers on the shifter has rubbed off 

  6. What are you on about? As soon as your ping goes over 600ms you get kicked no matter what, no "warning" is given and you have no choice but to pull over and restart the client. When I get kicked for high ping 4 times in 10 minutes, that's blatantly punishing for something not readily fixable (and that situation has happened to me about 20 times).
  7. It has the side effect of punishing people with weaker internet connections the same as those kicked by an admin.
  8. Maybe multiple reports against one person shouldn't create a report each, but increase the priority/urgency of the 1st report, or maybe make their name in the reports list a redder colour or something.
  9. Which means you need to download it again every time there's a launcher update. +1, I really thought a self-updating launcher would be great but it seems the launcher needs to be re-downloaded more times than the base game itself is updated. It's not quite self-updating if you need to navigate to the website to redownload it, is it?
  10. In a world where "ramming" and "griefing" are options that are there, "wrong way" is too general? So, what, should ramming be changed because it doesn't have options for "head on ramming", "sideswiping" and "rear-ending"? People driving the wrong way in the UK will usually realise their mistake in time if you honk at them, but can crash before they do and (shock-horror) go the wrong way on purpose. You'd swear reporting someone makes their computer explode. It alone doesn't hurt anyone. It just gets the attention of an admin, who will then determine if it's a genuine mistake or not and take a course of action. The "proper" report system is clogged up by about a week. Reporting in-game allows for instant action to be taken, potentially preventing further accidents. Reporting people overtaking accidents will do nothing (and if people want to do this, they already can with the system as it is right now, so silly point to make), if it was a once-off overtake an admin that comes and views the player will see them do nothing wrong and do nothing. ON THE FLIPSIDE: Say a serial overtaker is reported for wrong way driving. The admin comes and sees them on the correct side of the road but follows them around for a few seconds. They see them starting to overtake a line of traffic and can ban them on the spot. Same with someone driving 150+ km/h in the UK on the wrong side for extended periods of time. That "annoyance" is simply a holdover from a time when the only way to report someone was typing "/report" in chat. The muscle memory stayed, and some newer players must have thought typing report constituted a report. Not quite "age old" as you put it, common practice until the tab menu reporting was added.
  11. ^ "Wrongway" as in-game report category"
  12. Suggestion Name: "Wrongway" as in-game report category Suggestion Description: Either add "wrong way" to the list of offenses in the report menu or change one of the other things to it instead. Any example images: Nah Why should it be added?: Since overtaking on the DC road has become a bannable offense that is being handed out left, right and centre, this would be a much better way of alerting an admin. Currently the only category wrong way driving fits into in the list is "Other" unless they hit someone, and "other" doesn't really describe any specific rule break. Would work well for Europort too, and for people driving the wrong way in the UK, accidentally or otherwise. It seems that back when the report list was made it didn't take into account that there would be areas where overtaking wouldn't be allowed.
  13. So how long's the backlog on website reports these days? I've got some 4 day old ones still unclaimed, but one of the offenders was banned in-game for a different reason yesterday

      I have week old reports still unclaimed but they are getting through it slowly.  I think they are at December 14th reports now.

      Since some people only play to gather as many reports as possible it has to be a ton of them
